It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (85) and held back by timing (66).

Staffing teams lose proposals rebuilt from scratch that are 80% identical. Every staffing team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that handles proposal writing end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |

| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
